This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Forgive me if I don't think two comedians making a skit counts as a study. The camera is clearly visible and the women don't seem to be credible at all and are clearly playing it for laughs. Often, catcalling happens to women who are alone and by men who could physically overpower them with no sense of it being funny or a joke. I mean, it's kinda gross that they did this regardless, but I don't really see it as a one to one. It's hard to explain the feeling of concern that women are raised to have when it comes to being targeted by men, and it would be hard to put a man in a situation that mimicked that considering they have not been bombarded by stories of women stalking/raping/murdering men who they only saw in passing. Here's women being "politely catcalled": https://youtube.com/shorts/LNxf74FXyAs

Again, played for laughs with a visible camera and similar reactions from women as the men in your video.

The guys doing catcalling get upset when called out and admit they wouldn't want it to happen to their family: https://youtu.be/jDoVckC6NhA

Do I think men don't get as many compliments? Yes. But men can solve that themselves. Give each other compliments. https://youtube.com/shorts/aWLr03PJiuA

If these guys were catcalled by each other I have a feeling they wouldn't like it.
